Recent Bishop's grads reunite to stage play

When Peter Alexander saw playwright Jonathan Lewis’ “Our Boys” while in London studying drama, he texted a Bishop’s School buddy from his Acting Workshop days to suggest the former classmates perform the play this summer.

After multi-hour rehearsals four or five days a week sandwiched between summer jobs and sleep, they are doing just that.

It’s a challenge, especially because they directed the play themselves, said Murphet.

Advertising was by social media and word-of-mouth. Nevertheless, Friday’s performance was sold out. The play repeats tonight (7 p.m.) and Sunday (6:30 p.m.). Tickets, available at LJPOurBoys.eventbrite.com, are only $5, which the actors hope will cover their out-of-pocket costs.

What’s next? “We’re back off to college,” said Murphet. “Maybe we’ll try to do this again in the future.”
